overdoing it

Nov 21, 2010

I have a tendency to not quit when I'm tired.  i went shopping and there were racks of clothes on sale.  I am always looking for bargains for 13 grandchildren, so i kept searching thru the mounds of clothes, hoping to find some things they could use.  my feet were hurting, but i just kept on searching.  I came out with some good bargains, but they were not worth the price I paid in the pain in my legs.  i just can't walk and stand anymore, the way i use to.  I keep saying this, but not accepting it.  I have to.  the arthritis is too bad and my weight is too much for my legs to carry.   So my bargain hunting days are over.  that will make my hubby happy. I can't afford near the amount of clothes , without all that searching.  Oh well, it's time for me to scale down on the spending so he can retire. 
Other than that , it's been an uneventful day.  The grandkids came over for a little while and I slept most of the morning. I was so tired from yesterday.  I shopped about 2 hrs. and swam for 1 hr.  I can feel it today.   My legs were giving me  fits last night.  Lost two lbs. this morning, though.  that was a boost. The scales haven't moved it a bout 3 days. one more lb. and i will be down to 300.  Sounds like alot, but at 300 I don't look as obese as i did at 350.  I look a little more normal.  At  250, I won't stand out in a crowd as much.  I'm looking forward to that.  My tea is ready and got to get those liquids down.
Happy thanksgiving folks
